The issue is in finding buyers who have enough money to spend on those luxury goods.

Probably related to exposure to stuff in our atmosphere, like most things that spoil out here. Oxygen, water, etc.

This video has been posted so many times in this thread that I've inadvertently memorized the video ID.

Yeah, if. That's why I ask. I'm not familiar with the way things work there, and based on this headline, I thought it was a reasonable hypothesis.

You could say the same about humans working exploitative jobs. You can be unhappy and still stay because the cost of quitting is too high. It's only when it gets really bad that it becomes worthwhile.

Edit: I just learned from another comment that they sometimes clip the queen's wings so they can't leave.

I don't see how that logic follows with the Hitler example.

If the current government favours Hans over other ethnicities and heavily censors such that no one knows what's going on outside their bubble, wouldn't it make sense that the 90% that are being treated well would also be supportive of the government?

Han people account for about 90% of their population. Could that be related?

Ethics/civics would only be useful if you saw this as a possible outcome. Most of us are just looking to solve problems and make everyone's lives easier.

This drug does the opposite. It reduces appetites so people eat less.

Maybe some people who aren't as familiar with autism are just more likely to recognize it in people who look younger.

How did you get that impression?

IPF Rule changes (Jan 2026) (www.powerlifting.sport)
submitted 2 months ago by howrar@lemmy.ca to c/fitness@lemmy.world

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/58096221

Changes are highlighted in red.

Most notably, there seems to be three rule changes relating to technique:

  • Squat: Must use a full grip. Thumbless grip is no longer permitted. There's also a minimum height for bar position now.
  • Bench press: No sink-and-press
  • Deadlift: Clarifications on what it means to lock out with your shoulders back.

Say it's 25C outside and 30C indoors. I want to bring the indoor temp down to 25C, but opening all the windows barely makes a dent. Does it make sense to have the AC turned on and set to 25C while I have the windows open? Or should I be closing them anyway?

This just started yesterday. Every time I switch screens (e.g. opening/closing comments or viewing a different community), The screen changes, it swipes down to reveal the old screen, then switches back to the new screen. It's very disorienting. Anyone else or just me?

Apparently we can register as a liberal to vote in the upcoming leadership race. What does it mean if I register? What do I gain (besides the aforementioned voting) and does it place any kind of restrictions on me (e.g. am I prevented from doing the same with a different party)?

This is a video about Jorn Trommelen's recent paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38118410/

The gist of it is that they compared 25g protein meals vs 100g protein meals, and while you do use less of it for muscle protein synthesis at that quantity, it's a very minor difference. So the old adage still holds: Protein quantity is much more important than timing.

While we're at it, I'd also like to share an older but very comprehensive overview of protein intake by the same author: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/athlete-protein-intake/

Following up on another question about open source funding, how does it usually work when there is funding to pay for the dev's work, then someone new joins in and makes significant contributions? Does the original dev still keep everything? Do you split the funds between the devs? If so, how do you decide how much each person gets? Are there examples of projects where something like this has happened?

This should be in the negatives. We have to pay to get papers published in these traditional journals.

I suspect this is a problem with posts that have extremely long bodies like this one: https://slrpnk.net/comment/8035803

I'm trying to scroll down to the top first comment and inevitably overshoot. When I i try to scroll back up, it suddenly jumps back to the middle of the OP's body.

I was looking up when babies can safely start eating untoasted bread and one of the images led me to this website that sells... stuff? Are they selling me the question? Who knows.

Then if you scroll down to the related products, you can buy a basketball club for $30, down from $15!

I'm guessing this is some phishing website looking to steal credit cards. I also still haven't found an answer to my original question.

Is it possible for posts to show the domain (TLD and SLD) of link posts?

Use case: I don't want to watch videos so I want to avoid clicking YouTube links. I would like to know that they are YouTube videos without having my phone spend the next minute trying to open YouTube.

Is there a community meant for anything that doesn't currently fit into the existing communities?
